To ask Her Majesty's Government, following the report by Ofcom, Diversity and Equal
Opportunities in Television, published on 14 September 2017, what assessment they
have made of any progress in increasing diversity in this sector.

<p>Ofcom’s annual diversity monitoring report is a key tool in measuring how much
progress the industry is making in increasing diversity in the sector. The report,
which is attached, can be found here: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0021/121683/diversity-in-TV-2018-report.PDF</p><p>
</p><p>Now in its second year, the report makes clear that broadcasters still have
much work to do to make their workforces more representative and reduce data gaps
so a more accurate picture can be built. The government supports Ofcom’s work and
expects broadcasters to voluntarily publish data on all diversity characteristics,
not just the ones they are obliged to by law, to ensure that Ofcom is able to produce
the most comprehensive reports possible.</p>
